I agree with you that some ER's are not very well equipped for psychiatric patients and personnel not always adequately trained for the acute care of psychiatric patients but the DBI wasn't meant for them. Not all people visiting the ER come there with good intent. Take care Dr Shock I don’t think we have the same people in mind as far as the DBI is concerned.

So often the people who are homeless, or have not bathed in days are mentally ill too. I was in the emergency room with severe hepatitis symptoms for 6 days one time. The police brought in a woman who was severely psychotic. All night I could hear the nurses and doctors making fun of her screaming to get out of the ER's locked unit. I cried so hard thinking how cruel and uninformed they were. What if that woman were me. Having seen and heard how she was treated I have an intense fear about seeking help at a hospital, even if I am feeling acutely suicidal.
